The Vampire Khufu
By Raymond Mayotte
Copyright © 2005/2007
In the black of the night does a figure stand
A creature of darkness that once was a man
Alone and forlorn for his deeds he must pay
For all of eternity in the dark he must stay
Lust for immortality and power and greed
Much more on earth than a man does need
A king and a Pharoah was his claim to fame
The mighty Khufu of Egypt was his name
Now in the deep depths of dark lonely nights
In cemeteries of solitude shunning all lights
He moves among markers all made of stone
Hail to the Pharoah that must now be alone
Great Khufu or Cheops whatever is thy name
To man kind here you’ve only brought shame
Now every day you must rest under the sod
Finding that immortality belongs only to God
Excerpt from the Book
One evening
Khufu awoke in the early darkness of
the cave to sit and enjoy the panoramic view
outside, while the last rays of sun faded into evening shadows.
Winter snows had melted now and a gentle spring was nearing its end. Above blue sky
was softly melding into gray as the sun set behind the mountain, while a
deep, silent, hush hung expectantly in the air.
Staring out to catch the last glimpse
of color before darkness descended, he suddenly tensed at the slightest movement of
air outside the caves opening. Instantly he was on his feet ready to defend
himself, as a large black bat dropped from above to hang suspended close the
mouth of the cave.
For a time the bat hovered there menacingly, its
huge leathery wings silently fanning the air effortlessly, its eyes
peering directly at him with a deep intelligence within. Instantly Khufu
knew here was the presence hunting him, and although he tried he could
not enter into its mind.
'The Legend Of The Vampire Khufu' takes you on one of the most
exciting journeys of your life. Not only will you share this
five thousand year old vampire’s existence, but you will actually
be part of him as he passes through phases of history. In your
heart and soul you will experience his adventures, loves, passions,
hates, companionship and revenge. In the scope of it all you will
also become immortal and travel the old and new world to many
strange and exotic places.
Arising as an immortal vampire from the cold stone of the great
Pyramid of Egypt, Khufu, the once mighty Pharaoh, believes he can exist in
the world of mortals with impunity and dignity. This soon changes when
he learns of another powerful vampire out to destroy him, causing him to
remain hidden in deep shadows along with other foul creatures of the
night.
However he quickly learns that solitude is a
much more formidable enemy than the other immortal, the loneliness at times
almost driving him mad. Many years later he becomes involved with a mortal
woman he learns to love and would like to spend eternity with, but before he
can make her an immortal she dies.
Devastated by this Khufu shuns
mortal company for thousands of years, until in modern times he finds a woman
he believes is his love re-incarnated. However, about the same time he finds
the woman his enemy finds him. What follows will keep you unable to set the
book down until you have read the last page.
